Kim Kardashian, who gave birth to her second child in December 2015, previously wants to lose an additional 12 pounds to reach her goal weight of 120 pounds.

Low carb, high-fat diets like the Atkins and ketogenic diets promote rapid weight loss by inducing the body to burn fat for fuel, said obesity expert Dr. Eric Westman, author of New Atkins For a New You.
